When received from Quebecair in March 1984, this Welsh airline's first aircraft retained the basic blue colours of the Canadian operator with red Airways Cymru titles, which were quickly changed to white as seen here and then to a much larger red style before full colours were adopted in 1986

Once no stranger to London Airport as British Eagle's G-ATPH, this 1-11 was acquired by Airways Cymtu in March 1984 from Quebecair (C-FQBN) and was initially operated in the blue overall scheme inherited from that carrier. Seen here on a rare return to Heathrow for a charter, it passed to Dan Air in April 1988 as G-BPNX after Cymru's demise, ending up as 5N-MZE with Okada. Scrapped 2016

Rare capture of Airways Cymru's first aircraft soon after delivery from Quebecair, wearing red titles. These were soon changed to white and later back to red again, but in a much larger style. Eventually, the aircraft was painted in Cymru's own colours

Although painted with Cymru titles on return from its lease to Manx in January 1988, the airline went into receivership the next month and G-WLAD remained parked at Lasham and then Southend until May 1991 when exported to Nigeria

Leased from BIA in this hybrid scheme for the summer of 1984. The other Airways International Cymru 1-11, G-YMRU, can be seen behind in basic Quebecair colours
